Sebastian
Early reports suggest that a total of five individuals were killed, and seven others were injured.
Investigators are currently searching for a man named Quinn Turner, who was a patient at the hospital but has not been seen since the incident. Authorities believe that Turner may have been the main target of the attack.
The Nashville Police Department has launched a full investigation into the incident, and they are urging anyone with information to come forward.
This is a developing story, and we will provide more information as it becomes available.
Earlier today for the first time in a while I got thirsty. I almost revealed myself to Aiden. A side that I didn't want him to see. Whenever I feast it's like I'm a whole different person. Like my father. This is why I went on a break with blood drinking. I get addicted to it like the drugs people use these days.
When I was old enough to understand what I was I remember losing control, draining this woman's body but I was still thirsty. Ever since that day, my mother decided to bring me small portions of blood because whenever I do it myself I get out of control, and like I said before I become my father.
I lay in bed on my back in my room staring at the ceiling. I didn't even tell Aiden I got back home but I guess he figured because where else would I go? My mother wasn't home though and still isn't. I'm starting to get worried that Van Helsing caught her. No, she's too smart and quick for him.
My thoughts came to a halt when the slamming of a car door was heard from outside. I get out of bed walking to the window to see who came. It wasn't my mother, of course it is. She doesn't have a car. A black van was parked in Aiden's driveway. The windows were tinted so I couldn't see much but I could see a man in glasses behind the wheel. He looked nervous constantly looking to the back of the vehicle.
Janet came out of the house with her puppy. Oh, that puppy. It ignited something inside of me. I looked away because the more I stared at the canine with its blood running through its veins made my throat feel dry. I felt dizzy. I need my mom. She's the only person who can help my thirst. I need blood. Before falling to the ground I see Janet slide the passenger door shut.

I had just finished a long day at the museum in Rome where I worked as a curator. Exhausted but fulfilled, I looked forward to coming home to my family. As I walked through the door, I was greeted by the sight of her two teenage children, Edward and Helena, sitting on the couch, their eyes glued to the television screen.
"What are you two watching?" I asked, dropping my bag by the door.
"It's the news, Mom," Edward replied, his voice tinged with concern.
I furrowed my brow, moving closer to the TV to see what had captured their attention. As I listened to the reporter detailing a shootout involving someone named Gabriel, my heart skipped a beat. Gabriel...
"What's going on?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.
"It's Gabriel," Helena explained, my eyes wide with worry. "He's in trouble."
My mind raced as memories of my great-grandfather flooded back to her. Gabriel had been more than just a caretaker to my ancestor; he had been a trusted friend and confidant. The thought of him in danger sent a shiver down my spine.
"We have to do something," I said firmly, my maternal instincts kicking in. "We need to find out what's happening and if he's okay."

Gabriel
"Finally." I sigh as Janet enters the van. She glares at me and her puppy states at me. Something about this puppy seems so familiar to me I don't know why. "How come the dog likes him and not me?"
Quinn asked as Janet looked at me with a sad expression. I know she wants me to tell him but I won't until we find shelter and safety. I didn't give her an answer as a tear fell from her eye. "I have no idea." She forced a smile.
Simon started the engine and we were off to Janet's house. She avoided looking at me but that damn puppy kept staring and staring until it jumped out of Janet's arms causing her to yelp. I laugh as it jumps into mine, licking my face. I was enjoying the moment even Janet was smiling again. Showing her dimples that I just realized were there.
"he seems to like you, Gabe, what will you name him?" She asked with a smug. I think for a second I've always wanted a black dog so I'll call him. "Shadow," I said petting him as she made a cute face at him. "It suits him." She turns back to face the window and suddenly we hear police sirens. "Fucking hell," Simon swore which surprised me.
He waits nervously as a policewoman slowly approaches the van. Either we were driving too fast or they're looking for Quinn. "you were going quite fast back there. What's the hurry?" She asked while chewing gum before shining the light in the back on us. I silently panicked thinking shit this is it we're going to be charged with kidnapping an adult male. "I didn't realize I was going that fast honestly." Simon convinced her.
Quinn hid behind the boxes of equipment. Shadow was surprisingly quiet so the officer walked away but I watched her just in case she decided to come back. Just as she's about to enter the vehicle she's driving something picks her up and flies into the night sky with her.
"Holy shit." My eyes go wide and struggle to get out of the van.
"What's wrong what happened?" Janet panicked but I shushed her as I looked up. The thing that flew away with the officer is nowhere to be seen but I know it's in the air watching us. "Gabriel I'm getting really scared right now," Janet said trying to step out but I pushed her. "Are you nuts?" I yell whispered and she rolls her eye at me before getting in the back with her boyfriend.
"Okay, Janet to answer your question I don't know what's in the sky but," her brows furrowed. "We're going to get you two home, Simon you'll come back with me to kill this-
I was cut off by something falling on top of the van causing everyone in the van to scream, especially me. I fell back but got back up quickly, seeing the policewoman, her eyes wide open with a huge bite mark on her neck. Moments later I hear wings flapping. "what the actual fuck is that?" Janet whispers looking directly behind me as I turn to see a giant grey bat.
I hop into the van sliding the door shut. "Drive!!!" I shouted to Simon and immediately he booked it.
I could hear the lifeless body on the roof ruffling for about 40 seconds after we sped down the road then there was eerie silence. I let out a sigh of relief but was swallowed back in mid-action when that giant bat slammed into us nearly flipping the van.
Shadow started barking but not at Quinn instead of at the thing. When the puppy snarls at it I get a feeling of deja vu.
Flashback
After being electrocuted trying to save the Frankenstein monster I fell 20 feet to the floor but got back up limping a bit. I'm usually stronger but this took a toll on me.
"You're too late my friend!"
Annoyed and exhausted I turned around to look at Dracula as he changed back into his human form as he was following me.
"My children will live," he smirked just staring at me. I wonder if I just kill his offspring just like before along with his last bride and get this mission over with.
"Then the only way to kill them is to kill you?" I point trying to catch my breath.
"Correct." He doesn't even realize that I'm about to become something he fears and hates more than god himself. "So be it. One!!!!" I ripped open my already torn clothes to shreds as my bone moved unnaturally, making room for my new form. Quickly in the blink of a eye, I was tall and unstoppable.
"No, this cannot be." For the first time, I saw Transylvania's most feared monster have a look of terror on his pale face.
"Ha, ha, ha!" He might have been laughing but I knew deep down he was afraid. "We are both part of the same grand game, Gabriel but we need not find ourselves on opposite sides of the board." he tried to convince me to be friends but realized I wasn't like the last werewolf. He knew my intentions and feared them so he began to battle with me.
End of flashback
Janet
"Gabriel do something!!!" I slapped him out of his zoning-out session as the giant bat punched the window open making pieces of glass shatter everywhere. Due to how fast we were driving shadow almost fell out but Quinn grabbed him as Gabriel rushed into the back. This giant bat was directly in front of me trying to catch up. Seconds later Gabriel emerges from the back with a huge crossbow. I gaze at it in amazement.
He shot at it missing miserably. It slammed into us and this time we felt the car flipping off of the road. We fell down a hill over and over for about 2 minutes until we finally stopped. "Fuckkk," I screamed out in pain and looked around. Quinn wasn't in the car which gave me PTSD. My breathing got heavy as my heart beat out of control.
"Janet." I hear Quinn's voice and moments later was pulled out of the car. "Where's Simon and Gabriel?" a grunt made me look away from Quinn's eyes and saw Simon crawling out with a broken ankle.
"they're still in there." He managed to say after struggling to lay on his back. "I'll go get him." Quinn kissed my forehead as he ran to the damaged vehicle. "all my hard work has gone down the drain." Simon sniffles making me laugh a little. "oh Simon there's more to life than this."
I watched Quinn approach the van but got blown away because it burst into flames. "GABRIEL!!!" Simon cried out as I just sat there not knowing if I should cry or die. Shadow and Gabriel are dead. No coming back. Everything moved in slow motion when Quinn ran up to me shouting until I snapped out of it by him shaking me back and forth.
"Janet, Simon we have to go!" I swallow and nod trying to get up but he swept me off my feet by carrying me bridal style. He ran up to the road putting me down. "I'll go get Simon." Before he could walk away i pulled him back into an aggressive kiss. He kissed back but pulled away soon after. "Now is not the right time."
"I know, I just wanted to do that." My hands fell to his now muscular chest. God I never wanted him more in my life than now. "Are you two love birds going to pull away or what?!" I hear a familiar voice shout and move aside to see Gabriel helping Simon walk as shadow ran towards me. "How....how did you two get out?" I bend down catching Shadow as he jumps into my arms.
"We managed to get out before the explosion and I got to save one laptop, everything else blah." He explained and Simon sighed.
"so what do we do now since we have no transportation?" Quinn asked and Gabriel smirked. "I'm not walking," I say with an attitude. "Who said we were walking?"
Gheata
Slowly I walked with a wounded leg trying to find this man who I know for sure is not human since he came back from the dead plus that monster Hunter is here. I tracked them down by their tires leading me to the highway. By now my injured leg had regenerated. With my sniper by my side, I stride along the road while an animal-like shriek was heard from a distance. I look around thinking it's the werewolf but it's not even a full moon tonight.
"It's not a mountain lion." A male voice whispers into my ear. I tried to elbow them in the face but they disappeared. "Gheata you have to be quicker than that." I turn back around, nothing. "I thought you were a demon of trickery and now I'm tricking you." I spun and spun until I felt dizzy and fell seeing a man in a black suit with black hair. "Hello, my queen." He smiled. "who are you?" I stood to my feet, totally confused.
"Lucifer Morning star also known as your husband. The kids miss you Gheata come home." My heart fell to my stomach as I backed away. "Haitia and Lucius are better off without me."
"if they were better off then so is he!!" He growls as he points at the sky. A giant bat flew by and I knew exactly who it was. "Sebastian," I whispered with tears. "I've done some sneaky shit in the past but this is evil." I look back at my husband. "As wicked as I am Gheata I would've never left my biological kids for my ex's kid."
"Wait Mom used to date Dracula?" My kids asked in shock at the same time. I sigh in annoyance. "When he and I were both mortals."
I swallow built-up saliva as I wipe away my tears and make direct eye contact with Lucifer. "Anyway, I rather do that than become a housewife in hell again. You never let me do evil things like you because according to you a woman cannot rule hell which I'd say is bullshit. If I could've created a cult just for your summoning then I could've gotten that throne, at least be seated next to you." I was getting more angry by the second just telling him my mind. For centuries I've had them bottled up inside.
"well rules are rules Gheata anyways the kids miss you and they will be protecting your boy." He said making me pause with confusion. "why?"
"you want van helsing dead?" I nod slowly. "Then we'll help you."
"I don't deserve this but thank you." I hug each and everyone of them. "Let's be a big happy family. Together"
Aiden
Janet hasn't called since she left and I'm starting to worry. She seemed to have been in a big rush with a black van waiting on her. What if they were kidnappers? What if they were the same people who took Quinn. He has been missing since the shootout and no one saw where he went because the cameras were malfunctioning plus no one really saw him because they were too busy trying to save lives.
It's 11:45 pm and I'm using my best investigative skills to figure who the shooter was. The resources said they were after Quinn and this happened right after he woke from the dead. I googled who would've wanted to kill a man who mysteriously came back to life.
If a man resurrected from the dead, there would be many different individuals or organizations that might want him dead again for various reasons:
* Religious leaders may see him as a blasphemer or a threat to their faith, and try to eliminate him to prevent his influence from spreading.
* Doctors and scientists may try to capture and experiment on him, in the hopes of understanding how he came back to life and potentially replicating his abilities for themselves.
* Government agencies may view him as a threat to national security, and try to eliminate him to prevent him from revealing state secrets or becoming a symbol for opposition movements.
* Personal enemies or rivals may see him as a threat to their own status or happiness, and try to eliminate him to eliminate that threat.
* Supernatural entities or monsters may try to eliminate him because he is a threat to their existence, or because he is interfering with their plans.
Or even the infamous and notorious Van Helsing who was famous in the 1800's for killing innocent people who he believed were monsters. The man was sick.
"What are you looking at?" Sebastian's voice spoke. I yelp and fell off my spinning chair. "oh my god Sebastian." I laughed making him laugh as well.
I stood up dusting off my clothes. When I looked up at him as he sat on the outside of my window. Something was different about him or maybe it's because he wore glasses all the time and now they're off him. He looked cute.
I've been into blonde type of guys but if I'm lucky Sebastian is my second black haired boyfriend besides my scumbag ex Scott.
"Can I come in?" He asked and I nod quickly. He stepped in. "I'm trying to investigate the shootout." I sat down in my chair as he looked at my screen.
"Out of all of these suspects I think van helsing is responsible. I mean reading the articles above," He used my mouse to click on another website. "here's all you need to know about van helsing." He smirked.
"Woah," There was a long article about him and his crimes. "Thanks seba-
I turn to say thank you but Sebastian was gone. The only thing I heard and saw was the wind blowing which caused my curtain to go back and forth.
If he were here I would've asked him how do we know this van helsing guy is still alive if he was on a killing spree 1 hundred plus years ago.

I delved into my research with determination, fueled by concern for Janet and the mysterious events surrounding Quinn. As i sifted through historical records, online articles, and forums, I stumbled upon an old, weathered wanted poster that sent shivers down my spine. It was an image of a man, unmistakably Van Helsing, with a grim expression and the ominous title "Hunter of the Unnatural."
The poster detailed Van Helsing's crimes, claiming he was responsible for eradicating various supernatural beings, including Mr Hyde. I couldn't believe that someone like this could still be active after all these years. The thought that Van Helsing might be targeting Quinn, who had recently returned from the dead, sent a chill through my veins.
I quickly took a photo of the wanted poster with his phone and sent it to Janet, accompanied by a message urging her to be cautious and to share the information with the others. I emphasized the urgency of the situation and the need for them to stay vigilant. The text read:
"Janet, please be careful. I found an old wanted poster of Van Helsing, and it seems he's still active. Quinn might be his target. Share this info with everyone. Stay safe. - Aiden"
As I anxiously waited for a response, i continued my research, hoping to uncover more clues that could aid Janet and the others in understanding the threat they were facing. The intensity of the situation weighed heavily on me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that they were caught in the midst of a supernatural vendetta that spanned centuries.
